Deleted Mac Safari login/passwords keep coming back.

When I changed from MacBook Pro 2014 to MacBook Air 2018, many of my login/passwords were lost (I keep a copy elsewhere, so not a big issue). The problem is that many old login/passwords that I deleted long ago came back, and keep coming back even after I delete them again! How do I stop this?

MacBook Air

Delete Saved password on iMac I have iMac I want to sale! So, I signed out of all accounts including my iCloud account and performed factory reset. after the system booted up, I logged in using local account (I didn’t sign in to any email). Then, I opened Safari trying to login to Microsoft account “Microsoft.com” (I needed to check something), and I was surprised that Safari “autofill” my email and password!!! My questions is: how to wipe out all saved passwords on iMac! Why iMac still have my passwords saved while I am not signed in to any account?!? Thank you,

Passwords don't have to be just saved in Safari. They can be in the iCloud Keychain.

I'd check this article and see if this could be causing the issue.

Set up iCloud Keychain
